Red Continues Summer Classic Dominance By Will Parchman Waco Tribune-Herald 

The Red team’s hex on its Blue counterpart in the FCA Victory Bowl just seems to add to its legend every year. 

Two years ago, the Red team eked out a six-point win that wasn’t decided until overtime. Last year the Red squad capped a dominant display with a 26-point margin of victory to stretch the streak to three in a row. This year’s version came down to the final minute, but the result was the same it has always been. 

The Red team continued its streak of unbeaten games here with a 28-26 win over the Blue squad at Floyd Casey Stadium in the fourth annual Victory Bowl , an event started in 2009 by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes for freshly graduated Central Texas football players. 

The Red team has held sway over this all-star senior showcase since its inception, moving its record Saturday to 4-0 thanks to a gritty fourth-quarter stand in which the Blue team mounted a furious comeback. 

The Red team benefited from a tight bond between quarterback and coach in the McGregor combo of Tim Seward and Keith Reineke. Seward has coached Reineke for his entire high school career, and he got one final shot to coach one of the most productive players in McGregor history. 

Reineke paid back his coach’s confidence by leading the Red team to touchdowns on four of his five series and coming away with the Red team’s offensive MVP award. He had 54 yards rushing on 13 carries, threw for 78 yards and had a touchdown on the ground and through the air. 

“Having Keith has always been an ace in my pocket all the time,” Seward said. “He just makes plays and does things.” 

Receiving record falls 

The Blue team had another familiar Central Texas name on the MVP podium in Lorena’s Bradly Krall, who won the Blue team’s offensive MVP trophy. The incendiary skill player broke the Victory Bowl record for receiving yards by a yard with 63 on four catches — all from Goldthwaite trigger-man Tyler Horton — and had a receiving and rushing touchdown each. 

He too was coached by a familiar face. Lorena coach Ray Biles ran the Blue team’s sideline. 

“With a lot of these guys, you’re not sure what they can do,” Biles said. “You only have a couple practices to say, ‘Hey, can you do this, can you do that?’ When you have a kid that you’ve been around for that long and you know what he can do, just not shocked at all.” 

The Blue team came out of halftime with a 14-7 lead, but the Red team scored 21 points in a third quarter capped by a 34-yard lateral pass from Bremond’s Jacob White to Belton’s Levi Brown as the time ticked off the third quarter clock. The well-worked artifice play staked the Red team to a 28-14 lead, but the Blue team chipped away in the fourth. 

“I was confident in my defense, but the Blue team was great,” Reineke said. “They moved the ball, but our defense held their own.” 

Horton, who led all four of the Blue team’s touchdown drives and finished with 81 yards passing and 56 rushing, found Krall on an eight-yard screen to draw within 28-20, but Lorena’s Kade Robinson clanged the right upright on the extra point to keep the deficit at eight. 

That proved to be an enormous factor. After the Blue squad held the Red team on its next possession and drove to the four, Mildred’s Daniel Folsom took his first carry in for a Blue score with 3:04 to play. Folsom took a sweep around the right on the two-point conversion attempt and appeared to be in, but he was denied at the line by a host of swarming defenders. 

The Blue team got the ball back with 1:54 to play, but their drive sputtered when Horton threw a deep interception to Ellison’s Sean McBryde to end it. 

“It looked like they had the play to the outside and just a great job by our defense to get off the blocks and come up and make a play there,” Seward said. “Great great. The Blue team played a great game. Well coached, and that’s what leads to a 28-26 game.” 

The Red team’s first drive was the model of ground-and-pound efficiency. They went 84 yards in 16 plays, and Reineke only spiced in three throws to go with 13 running plays, eight of which he kept for himself. Reineke completed all three tosses on the drive and one was a biggie, a 36-yard rope to White down the left sideline on 3rd- and-15. 

Eight plays later, Reineke piled in from two yards out to give the Red team, so accustomed to leading in this event, a 7-0 lead with 4:11 left in the first quarter. 

After an unsuccessful drive with University slinger Alvin Sanders under center, the blue team perked up when Horton took the reins. He drove the Blue team 76 yards on his first series in the second half, responding to the Red team’s opening touchdown with one of their own. 

After 12 plays took the Blue team to the Red 9, the Red defense stiffened and forced a 4th-and-2. Eschewing the field goal attempt, Biles rolled the dice with the player he perhaps knew best on his sideline in Krall. He took a handoff around the right side, found the sideline and tiptoed all nine yards to paydirt with 4:36 left in the half. 

The Blue team got in one more uppercut on the Red team before the conclusion of the half. Whitney quarterback Dillon Hightower, who put up some monstrous games with the Wildcats, came in for his first possession under center late in the second, but his second throw was tipped to Midway multi-sport star Gerron Dewberry, who came up with the interception at the Red 47. 

With Horton again running the show, Corsicana running back Cameron Washington, who finished with a game-high 90 rushing yards on 12 carries, made the Red team pay. On the fourth play of the drive, Washington exploded up the chute for a 29-yard touchdown, zipping through a truck-sized hole and stiffarming  his way past the goal line for a 14-7 lead into the half.
